    enable_system_app wildcard?

    With Android Enterprise Device Owner enrollment you can end up in a situation where a number of system applications are disabled by default. There are enrollment Extras that you can include in a NFC chip or custom QR code to leave all system apps enabled but if they device has already been enrolled is appears that you have to use the enable_system_app script in order to re-enable the apps individually. Is there an alternative to individually re-enabling system apps such as using a wild card? eg: enable_system_app * enable_system_app com.zebra.*

    Hell all, we have mobicontrol in version 13.3.0.3454 We have a lot of device in zebra TC75X with android 6 and 7. the client mobicontrol is on version 13.3.2 build 1014 actually, we migrate all url we call in http to https. i can install the certificate on the device without problem all works fine. I would like to know if some people has experience with certificate. Is it better to add the certificate in a separate profile or it's better to add the certificate in the main profile (where authentifcation kiosk is added) ? Actually, for testing i have created a separate profile who contains just the certificate I have a main profile where i have (bookmark, kiosk, …) and so on. I can install all, remove all, all seems to work but i would like to have some advice or suggestion. thanks for sharing your knowledge

    No Notifications - Set Background/Lock screen Image

    Hello, We have Lenovo devices so the user may not display any notifications. Apps are blocked, but still notifications are popping up. writesecuresetting -sec  lock_screen_allow_private_notifications 0 writesecuresetting -sec  lock_screen_show_notifications 0 But I assume this command is only for Samsung. Is there also one for a Lenovo Tab 3 10? As well I tried to set a background/lock screen image in SOTI MobiControl 14.4.1 (via advanced option) but this doesn't work at all. Does somebody have any idea how to change this? Thank you for your comments

    Managed Google Play Apps Update

    We updated a configuration on one of our Google Managed Play apps in the MobiControl app catalog and yet the app has not updated on the device. The app is set as a mandatory app. From my findings the app should update automatically but the app does not show to update. We are using a Zebra TC57 with OS 8.1.0. MobiControl v. 14.4.2. The devices are AEOD in kiosk mode preventing user interaction.

    Why do we lose our custom kiosk if it's updated on cellular? Solved Locked

    Hello, We have around 350 Android+ handheld devices that we configure for lockdown using a custom HTML kiosk. It works well but we have an issue where we can't push any updates to the devices over cellular. If the profile is altered in any way (package update, kiosk code update, even a setting option change) the devices on cellular simply minimize the kiosk and remove the lockdown, effectively opening up the device. This happens even when we have the device group enabled to update over wifi, cellular, and cellular while roaming. What would be some things I can check to make sure we have this configured correctly? Only being able to update over wifi is very inconvenient when managing so many devices. Thanks!

    Assigning Custom Attribute Values to a Device

    Hi I have created custom attributes in the Global Settings / Manage Custom Attributes. I'm able to assign custom attribute value to a device group but not to a device. I use a version 14.3.3 of MC. The help says : To assign a custom attribute value to a device: Click a device name to open its Device Information panel. On the Device Details tab, scroll to the Custom Attributes section. Click the pencil icon to turn on custom attribute editing. Enter a value for the custom attribute you want to apply to this device. Click Save to apply the new custom attribute value. Values for custom attributes are visible in the Device Information panel. You can edit the values at any point, following the same steps.   I don't have any Custom Attributes section in the Device Details tab. I have : COMPLIANCE / DEVICE DETAILS / CELLULAR DETAILS / DEVICE STATUSES / USER DETAILS / HARDWARE DETAILS / ANTIVIRUS / ANDROID ENTERPRISE   Am I missing something ?   Thank you.
